Our Goal

Our goal with Mineral Springs Brewery is to bring fresh, locally brewed beer in a relaxed, family friendly environment to the people of Owatonna and Southern Minnesota.

Our Story

MSB, LLC is a microbrewery located in Owatonna, MN, doing business as Mineral Springs Brewery. MSB leverages the past working relationship of award winning brewers Tim Pelton, Jon Hilstad, and Matt Kottke and their collective efforts as Mineral Springs Brewery within the Owatonna community in the past decade.

The MSB brand was assumed and owned in 2019 by a small group: Rod Baker, Bill Cronin, Mark Knutson, Tim Pelton, and Mark Sebring, each with significant community engagement and relevant business experience. Collectively, these 5 founding members have more than 150 years of business experience and more than 200 years of community engagement in Owatonna and Steele County. Over the past few years, that founding group has shrunk to 3 as we’ve seen retirements from Tim Pelton and Mark Knutson, who we recognize and honor via our Pelton Dark Lager and Knutson Golden Ale. 

The market focus for MSB is the Southern Minnesota beer enthusiast seeking a casual and relaxing environment. MSB aspires to be a destination for friends to gather to enjoy affordable, great-tasting, locally-brewed beer.

At the heart of our mission is to create a positive, inviting environment for people to enhance and enjoy relationships with family and friends. To further serve that aspect of our purpose, we envision strong corporate support of local fundraising efforts, conducting on-site fundraisers and purpose-driven initiatives.

We want to ensure Owatonna has the best brewery experience imaginable, keeping true to our core values and development of the community.

Here’s just a small sample of what we have to offer:
– 86 person inside seating, plus patio area (heated igloos in the winter!)
– Sales of light, packaged snacks (no operational kitchen)
– Local food trucks and a variety of delivered food from local business
– 14 beers on tap 

Mineral Springs Brewery is open year-round, Monday through Sunday.
